Migrants Turn Cannibal

by Earl Morningstarr

Five members of a refugee party trying to reach Puerto Rico by boat from the Dominican Republic resorted to cannibalism when they were lost at sea.

33 Dominican Republic migrants set sail for Puerto Rico on October the 17th, after just two days the Captain of the vessel admitted they were lost and abandoned the boat and passengers adrift at sea. The group attempted to sustain themselves on rainwater, but began dying one by one. When only five survivors remained they agreed to start eating the corpses of the other passengers in a desperate bid to survive until they could be rescued.

“We had to eat him, to save our own lives. We cut from his leg and chest. We cut little pieces and swallowed them like pills. It’s like beef, almost the same” one survivor explained.

The five survivors were eventually picked up by the US Coast Guard on the November the 1st, but one woman has since died leaving just four out of 33 to make it.
